Guess you could argue that volt only matters if activated whereas salt matters right now (God these terms are maddening) Either way, I still think that focussing on ripping out whatever remains of Chinese infrastructure as the top priority response to salt flies in the face of the evidence about it

Also think salt, whilst important, is spying. Volt is more strategically significant as it’s a precursor to the disruption of civilian CNI, so way more serious & unlike salt a major departure from (a) norms & (b) previous Chinese ops

Absolutely - it’s salt & the naming are silly & unhelpful (I also posted about that!). I do wonder though if this is a distraction: afaik from the publicly available info Salt wasn’t primarily due to Chinese kit but weaknesses in US (& other western) built, US operated infrastructure 1/2

Brace yourself, but I'll watch just about anything Orson Welles, Christopher Nolan, Guy Ritchie, & Taylor Sheridan. Yes, I recognize that's likely the first time anyone's ever drawn a line through those four. And sure, a disjointed grouping a little trashy around the edges, but my go-to every time.

Tonight’s The Diplomat commentary (Spoiler Alert): “Who gives a f—- about Scotland? They’re nice, sweet people. They’re cold all the time.” I don’t laugh out loud at shows much, but I sure did here. Watched it again, laughed again. There are better shows, for sure, but this one is easy to like.

The chargers’ unis are so pure. At the same time bengals unis are excellent for their flat out distinctiveness and commitment to their mascot meme. Don’t much like either team, but this is as good as you get visually. Note also the teams are opposites helmet/jerseys/pants in their kit.
